SPECI'FICATIOJN'L TO WHOM IT MAYGONOERN: p 3

,t Be it known that I, Fannnmcx ERNST, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented ,a new and improved article of manufacture, to wit, Deodorizing Lozenges; and I hereby declare the following to be 3 emu, clear, and exact description thereof. i I I w j I The nature of my invention consists in making lozenges which, when chewedor sucked, will destroy all odors emanating from the mouth. i i To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention,-I will proceed to deseribethe same more particularly. v Q

V I take about one-half per cent. permanganate of "potash, about one-half per cent. peroxide of hari um, about ninety-seven-per cent. of sugar, and about two per cent of gumtragacanth. I mix these ingredients in t i a finely pulverized state, add some water to it, snfiicient to enable me to form a dough; When the dough is formed I divide it in small quantities,and press them in the formrequired for lozenges; either by a simple press or by a machine used for that purpose. When removed from the press they are dried either in the open air or by means of a slow fire. They are then packed in small packages or boxes, and are ready; for use.

i These lozenges, when consumed in the usualmanneneither by chewing or sucking, will destroy every bad: odor arising from the mouth, either from decaying matter adhering to the teeth, or from any other cause T whatever. p

What I claim as new, and'desire to secure by Letters Patent, i5 e The deodorizing lozenges as a new article of manufao'tureconsisting of the ingredients described, for the purpose setforth. FRED. ERNST.
